Not sure how much we can read into that result but still impressive by any means, even if not a competitive match.

That's two big wins in the last few weeks for him now, unfortunately neither of them earned him any ranking points. When he starts doing it in Challenger and ATP events we can really raise expectations of him.

Also shout out to Josh Goodall who won yet another Challenger today, beating Ed Corrie (who's been quite impressive of late, and knocked out Albano Olivetti who reached an ATP QF earlier this year, beating Mardy Fish en-route) in the final.

Aye was going to put afterwards that if only he could reproduce these results in Challengers, ended up confusing what I was writing and just put it was a challenger. God knows why I put that, I knew what I wanted to say.

A disappointing 0&4 defeat to Michael Yani for Baker. Yani also knocked out Boggo and is now in tomorrow's final. Baker was actually the only seed to even reach the QFs!

Baker (seeded 5) and Boggo playing in another American challenger this week in Lexington.

Olly unfortunately had to retire in his QF after leading 4-2 (went down 4-6, 0-4 before doing so). Not sure what happened to him, but I really hope it's not serious. Huge shame, as he was top seed and looking good for another Futures win.

Bad news for James Ward - fractured his wrist in Newport the other week and will now lose a large chunk of the season, including Vancouver where he is defending 100 points. Will fall down probably around 100 places in the rankings once he loses the points he will not be able to defend.
